For instance, No. 2-ranked Andrei Vasilevskiy will probably share duties in net for the Crunch in 2014-15.

"Vasilevskiy is universally heralded as the best Russian goaltending prospect to come along since Vladislav Tretiak. Vasilevskiy's tantalizing combination of size and athleticism is balanced by extremely mature positioning and mechanics, which led some scouting services to peg Vasilevskiy as the Russian Carey Price. Vasilevskiy led Ufa to the conference finals in his rookie season in the KHL with a bevy of sparkling highlight saves that directed the Lightning to sign the prospect netminder with a view toward beginning his North American pro career next season.''

Another fun newcomer to watch in the War Memorial this season could be defenseman Dylan Blujus, whom the website slots at No. 16.

"At a near-prototypical 6'3" and over 200 pounds, Blujus is mobile and can lug a lot of minutes. He's been a top-two pair defenseman for the Battalion each of the past three seasons and has become a player who can be depended on in key defensive situations. So, even if we have to downgrade our projection of Blujus to a stay-at-home type of defender as a pro, he's still a prospect who can contribute greatly, starting with Syracuse in the AHL next season.''
